[Pdns-users] TinyDNS backend for PowerDNS

[Brad Dameron]

I am currently converting to PDNS from BIND9. I have zone files ranging in the 32+ MB range. Do people suggest using the BIND backend or using the MySQL one? I am looking at doing a SuperMaster that updates 4 slave servers. 2 servers in each location are behind a hardware load balancer.
 
Thanks,
Brad Dameron

We're using the bind backend atm, although that has some down sides as well.

How many others have attempted to build a backend that could handle 18M
(and growing) of zone data?

Our criteria is a little different to most doing anything close to the
same thing we are due to the fact we're non-profit, so there is less
resources then commercial ventures doing the same.
